I like to store my papers and magazines organized in magazine holders. I don't like using the type of folders that require punching holes in my papers, although I do have some of those for my study papers as well. However, I haven't bought most of my magazine holders, but have gotten them for free from the university or libraries that sometimes need to get rid of their old, cardboard magazine holders. They've looked quite terrible, but I've wiped them clean and covered them to make them nicer. The whole project was free since I covered them with magazine clippings. A bit of cutting and gluing and taping and it's done. (Besides gluing the paper on the holder, it's best to also tape the edges of the paper inside and on the bottom of the holder.)

Säilytän paperit ja lehdet yleensä lehtikoteloissa. Suurin osa niistä on yliopistolta tai kirjastosta ilmaiseksi saatuja vanhoja pahvisia koteloita. Ne ovat yleensä aika karseassa kunnossa ja kaipaavat päällystystä. Pyyhkäisen niitä ensin vähän ja sitten päällystän lehtileikkeillä. Päällystämiseen tarvitsee vain vanhoja lehtiä, sakset, liimaa ja teippiä. (Liimaamisen lisäksi paperien reunat kannattaa teipata kiinni kotelon sisäpuolelle ja pohjaan.)

Also, just a suggestion. When you put your papers into the holders, take time to actually organize them into categories, instead of just throwing in craft supplies with your study papers etc. And preferably write a label on the back of the holder. Otherwise, when you're looking for something specific, you'll end up going through all of the holders to find it. Which is what I did, when I was looking for my old travel diary a while ago. It took me two hours to find it...

Ja yksi ehdotus. Paperit kannattaa myös järjestää koteloihin kategorioittain ja mielellään vielä merkitä, mitä ne sisältävät. Muuten käy niin kuin minulle. Sain etsiä yhtä vanhaa matkapäiväkirjaa pari tuntia, koska jouduin käymään kaikki kotelot läpi...
